“Land is for [Chaskey] soil and metaphor, a living thing, a livelihood — an idea. His land — the land beneath us all — is his lens on the largest questions: How ought we to act in the world; who do we wish to be? Rarely have we been gifted a working farmer who so firmly clenches in his root system the roles of poet, historian, scholar, and philosopher, but I’ll say this: The yield here is extraordinary,” Carl Safina, author of The View from Lazy Point: A Natural Year in an Unnatural World.
